Established in 2007, the multidisciplinary Yorkshire Quality and Safety Research (YQSR) Group brings together leading academics from the Universities of Leeds, Bradford and York. Along with clinicians and managers from the Bradford health community and the Yorkshire and Humber region, the YQSR Group works to co-produce high quality research that addresses NHS and patient priorities. YQSR also hosts the NIHR Yorkshire and Humber Patient Safety Translational Research Centre, one of three national Centres, aiming to ‘to deliver research that makes healthcare safer’.

We do four main types of research:

Understanding the factors that drive patient safety
Developing/piloting safety innovations
Understanding if and how novel interventions work
Understanding how to improve practice and systems
